More UK ministers resign as Boris Johnson clings to power
The Home Affairs Minister and Treasury Minister resign as UK PM Boris Johnson clings to power
Boris Johnson’s premiership is in turmoil after Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid resign – with speculation a new confidence vote in PM could be allowed.
John Glen, the economic secretary to the Treasury, has resigned.
In a post on his social media, he said the handling of the Chris Pincher scandal and “poor judgement” shown by Boris Johnson, “have made it impossible for me to square continued service with my conscience”.
He adds: “The country deserves better, and I must return to the backbenchers myself to the service of the people of Salisbury and South Wiltshire.”
It comes after Robin Walker and Will Quince resigned as education ministers.
Victoria Atkins has resigned as justice minister.
In her letter she says: “Values such as integrity, decency, respect and professionalism should matter to us all.
“I have watched with growing concern as those values have fractured under your leadership, through Patterson, Partygate and Pincher.”
She adds: “The events of this week, however, have made these contortions impossible.
“The casual mistreatment of minister Will Quince and the revelations contained in Lord McDonald’s letter highlight just how far your government has fallen from these ideals.
“I can no longer pirouette around our fracture values.
“We can and must be better than this”.
MP submits no confidence letter in Johnson
Ipswich MP Tom Hunt, formerly a loyal supporter of Boris Johnson, has submitted a letter of no confidence in the prime minister.
Writing on Facebook, Mr Hunt says: “I have come to the conclusion, like a large number of my colleagues, that it’s in the best interests of my constituents, the country and the Conservative Party for the prime minister to step down.
“A continuation of the status quo cannot continue and, regretfully, I believe that the prime minister’s tenure in office has run its course.”
